Videos

• Setting Initial Filtering (07:31) - This initial video demonstrates setting initial filtering EQ on multiple sounds from within one instance of Pro-Q 4.

• Mid/Side Mastering EQ (08:48) - We discuss using Mid/Side EQ to create a bigger, wider, and more open master in this video.

• Low End Management Using Pro-Q 4 (08:54) - Next, we investigate employing frequency-specific side-chain compression to clear space for kick and bass separation for a tight low end.

• Mixing Drum Loops (10:16) - Next up, we bring out stereo information and enhance the life and groove of a pre-mixed drum loop using Pro-Q 4.

• Mastering Re-Balance (11:29) - Here, we look to improve the balance of a master by bringing out and taming certain areas of the frequency spectrum.

• Spectral Mode (06:47) - We explore creating a smoother high end next by taming resonances while boosting overall high end.

• Phase Concerns (06:14) - Finally, we investigate linear phase vs zero latency mode in the case of layering two kicks. This outlines the importance of having a clear strategy for managing phase when using EQ.
